Ben is still recovering so the three Musketeers are at it again.

Going a little less further back in time, Trent debuts a new segment called "From the Archives" where we delve into the mind of 1990s Toyfare Magazine writers to see just what they were smoking.

Jim and Lauren follow the winding path of Labyrinth as it turns 40, exploring how a film that underperformed in 1986 became one of the most beloved cult classics of the home video era - and how its legacy nearly intertwined with Disney in a much bigger way. In this episode of I Want That Too, we connect the dots between Jim Henson's ambitious fantasy film, its surprising international success, and the long road that led Disney to acquire the Muppets - but not Labyrinth. Along the way, we look at the massive 40th anniversary merch push and what it says about the power of nostalgia-driven consumer products. NEWS • Disney Consumer Products wins big at North America's Toy Fair, taking home Doll of the Year for the American Girl Moana collection and Plush Toy of the Year for the interactive Stitch • How upcoming theatrical releases - including The Mandalorian and Grogu, Toy Story 5, Moana (live-action), and Spider-Man: Brand New Day - are shaping Disney's 2026 merchandise strategy • A new Haunted Mansion wedding venue debuts at Disneyland as Disney Fairy Tale Weddings celebrates its 35th anniversary • Disney unveils a 35th anniversary light-up wedding gown featuring 500 embedded lights and 35 programmable lighting effects • Labyrinth kicks off its 40th anniversary celebration with anniversary screenings, a 60-city concert tour, new collectibles, and specialty footwear collaborations FEATURE • Why Labyrinth struggled at the box office in 1986 despite an A-team creative lineup that included George Lucas and David Bowie • The international box office story that softened the blow - and helped build the film's cult following • How Labyrinth's disappointing domestic performance factored into Jim Henson's decision to sell his company • The original 1989 Disney acquisition deal that would have given the Mouse the entire Henson film library - including Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal • Why the Henson family ultimately retained key IP like Labyrinth, Fraggle Rock, and The Dark Crystal when Disney finalized its Muppets purchase in 2004 • The newly announced Labyrinth sequel in development at TriStar Pictures and what it signals about the brand's enduring power HOSTS • Jim Hill - IG: @JimHillMedia | X: @JimHillMedia | Website: JimHillMedia.com • Lauren Hersey - IG: @lauren_hersey_ | X: @laurenhersey2 FOLLOW • Facebook: JimHillMediaNews • Instagram: JimHillMedia • TikTok: JimHillMedia SUPPORT Support the show and access bonus episodes and additional content at Patreon.com/JimHillMedia.

As I mentioned on the show, my absolutely favorite reveal, despite its duck-billed alt mode, was Krannix from the Transformers '86 movie. Talk about holes being filled. For Joe, the addition of dinosaurs to the line is extremely interesting, even if it's just a momentary distraction. Masters of the Universe, of course, went off. With two different lines similar enough to be confused, at least by me, we have a ton of options. But, that Trap Jaw with an articulated jaw, am I right? Star Wars blew their load pre-Toy Fair, but being an arctic guy, let's just say, I want everything.
Marc and Greg talk about Marc's visit at Toy Fair 2026 in New York City, where he was able to interview Tim Kilpin, President of Toys, Licensing and Entertainment at Hasbro. Hasbro had announced on February 4, 2026 that they had obtained the license to make Toys, Action Figures and Role Play Items for the upcoming Voltron Movie, due to be released by Amazon/MGM Studios. Marc also gives a full report of Toy Fair and everything that goes on at the Javits Center in New York for those 4 glorious toy-filled days every February.

Play NowEpisode 395 of the Seibertron.com Twincast begins with a review of the New York Toy Fair 2026 Studio Series 86 reveals, with extended conversation on 2 of the 7 reveals: Astrotrain and Kranix - including a listener question on Kranix's alt-mode. The crew also discusses the TFNY Cyberworld reveals, and the cohesive play pattern across this intriguing kids line. The conversation moves on to Transformers Overgear, the potential addition of Optimus Prime to the previously revealed Ironhide and Blackout, and the design philosophy behind these more realistic mecha-inspired takes on the characters. MPG Blaster and Steeljaw also get airtime, as the next Masterpiece entries raise concerns about the line's direction. The cast addresses a couple additional listener questions about Combiner team changes and the design of Masterpiece figures' hands. We close the episode as we always do, with a round of bragging rights, sharing what we acquired since the last episode.
